Alex has been going through this phase where he needs to know where I am at all times. He will be in the kitchen playing and I will be in there cleaning up and the minute he doesn't hear me it's, "mom? Mom, where are you?" I tell him I will be walking from room to room putting things away for the next few minutes and he still asks every 60 seconds, "mom, where are you?" If I don't answer quickly enough, he jumps up to go look for me - he has even darted out the front door to make sure our car was still in the driveway and that I didn't leave without him! What is that about?

I must hear "Mom where are you?" about a thousand times a day. I am wondering if he is having trouble seeing again - he has already gone thtough 9 eye surgeries - maybe that is making him uncomfortable. Or maybe I am just so fantastic that he can't bear to not be in the same room without me...(hmm, that would be nice)!
